A boat crosses a river of width 244 m in which the current has a uniform speed of 1.99 m/s. The pilot maintains a bearing (i.e.,

the direction in which the boat points) perpendicular to the river and a throttle setting to give a constant speed of 1.68 m/s relative to the water. How far downstream from the initial position is the boat when it reaches the opposite shore

Answer:289.02\ m

Explanation:

Given

width of river d=244\ m

velocity of current v_1=1.99\ m/s

Velocity of boat w.r.t to current v_{21}=1.68\ m/s perpendicular to current

therefore Perpendicular component of velocity will help boat to cover the width of river in t_1 time which is given by

t_1=\frac{244}{v_{21}}

t_1=\frac{244}{1.68}=145.23\ s

In this time current will drift the boat a distance of

x=v_1\times t_1

x=1.99\times 145.23

x=289.02\ m

The first step in turning a rock into a sediment is ________. Select one:
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The first step in turning a rock into a sediment is Compaction .

Explanation:

Lithification is a process of changing rock into sediments. There are two steps for a rock to lithify. These steps are as follows

  • The first step of lithification is compaction where sediments are erosed together by weight of the it. Thus, the upper layers of sediments causes compaction of lower layers.
  • The next process of lithification is cementation. In this fluids fill the space between the loose particles.

Hence, the first step for turning rock into sediments is compaction.

What is power in physics​
Shkiper50 [21]

Edit

In physics, power is the rate of doing work or of transferring heat, i.e. the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. Having no direction, it is a scalarquantity. In the International System of Units, the unit of power is the joule per second (J/s), known as the watt in honour of James Watt, the eighteenth-century developer of the condenser steam engine. Another common and traditional measure is horsepower (comparing to the power of a horse). Being the rate of work, the equation for power can be written:

Power

Common symbols

Derivations from

other quantities

P = E/t

P = F·v

P = V·I

P = T·ω

As a physical concept, power requires both a change in the physical system and a specified time in which the change occurs. This is distinct from the concept of work, which is only measured in terms of a net change in the state of the physical system. The same amount of work is done when carrying a load up a flight of stairs whether the person carrying it walks or runs, but more power is needed for running because the work is done in a shorter amount of time.

Letícia leaves the grocery store and walks 150.0 m to the parking lot. Then, she turns 90° to the right and walks an additional
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

165.529454

Explanation:

According to the Pythagorean Theorem for calculating the lengths of a right angle triangle's sides, a^2 + b+2 = c^2, where c is the longest side (and the side opposing the right angle). So in your case it would be 150*150 + 70*70 = 27400. And √ 27400 is your answer.
